NMFC 163700: Quartermasters' Stores | Class 100

Note 163702: NOTE-Applies only on shipments covered by U.S. Government bills of lading.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the contents fit the NOI scope and review Note, item 163702. Exclude any hazardous items; this listing is for non-hazardous quartermaster supplies.
2. Choose sturdy outer packs: double-wall boxes or lumber crates for mixed gear; drums are acceptable for bulk items. Add skids so forklifts can handle safely.
3. Consolidate small SKUs into a master crate or box on a 48x40 pallet. Band, corner-board, and stretch-wrap to create a stackable, LTL-ready unit.
4. Mark the BOL as “Quartermasters' Stores, NOI — NMFC 163700, Class 100.” Include piece counts and a packing list in a weatherproof pouch to speed cross-dock handling.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

• Predictable pricing at Class 100—no density calculation—accelerates quoting and lowers reclass risk.
• Broad NOI coverage lets you ship mixed quartermaster supplies together, reducing line items and admin time.
• Non-hazardous status simplifies carrier selection and cuts compliance delays and surcharge exposure.
• Proper crating and palletization improve stackability and reduce damage claims, helping stabilize LTL freight rates.
